About Richard Schramm

As a DevOps Engineer, I design and develop automation for continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines, using various technologies and tools, such as Python, SaltStack, Jenkins, and Kubernetes. I also manage, maintain, and automate cloud infrastructure in GCP and AWS through IaC, ensuring scalability, reliability, and security.With over 12 years of software development experience, starting from QA and transitioning to DevOps, I have a strong focus on quality and developer success. I provide technical and cloud architectural support and guidance to software, QA, and data engineering teams, as well as monitor and troubleshoot application and infrastructure issues in both development and production environments. I collaborate and communicate across cross-functional teams, and mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of openness and learning. I am always excited to learn new technologies and processes, and to contribute to providing data-driven solutions for company goals.Outside of work I enjoy building custom PCs and playing on my friend\'s Slow Pitch Softball Team.I also have a life goal to visit all 30 MLB ballparks; so far I\'ve been fortunate enough to visit Oracle Park (Giants), T-Mobile Park (Mariners), Oakland Coliseum (A\'s), Chase Field (Diamondbacks), and Great American Ball Park (Red\'s) Skills Blob:* Programming and Scripting Languages | Python, YAML, Groovy, JSON, PowerShell, Bash, Java, SQL, C#* Testing Tools | Pytest, Robot* Monitoring & Security | Datadog, Lacework, SonarQube, PagerDuty, OAuth* Cloud Platforms | AWS (EC2, VPC, S3, Route53, DynamoDB, Secrets Manager, IAM, CloudWatch, AWS Lambda), Google Cloud Platform (GKE, GCE, IAM, VPC, GCS, Data Flow, BigQuery, StackDriver, CloudSQL, Cloud Functions, Cloud Scheduler, Artifact Registry)* Build Automation | Jenkins, Helm, Make, Maven, Docker, Kubernetes, Packer, BitBucket Pipelines(Gitlabs)* Infrastructure Orchestration | Terraform, Flyway, Salt Stack, Chef * Databases | Relational Databases, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL PostgreSQL, NoSQL* Operating Systems | Windows Servers (IIS), Linux Alpine, Mac OS X * Dev Tools | JIRA/Confluence/BitBucket Server, Git* Methodologies | Agile Methodologies (Scrum/Kanban), SDLC, TDD, Load/Feature/Functional Testing, CI/CD, IaC, Event-Driven Architecture, Distributed Systems, Containerization
